The early Discworld books are fun fantasy. Pratchett really found his voice as the series went along. My favorite is Night Watch, though it’s best if you’ve read a few of the Guards books already to really understand the characters.
The young adult Tiffany Aching series (first book Wee Free Men) is wonderful and can be enjoyed by any age.

Yes! Another great one.
“Olden politics was a simple affair. They took the gold and made the laws. The new politics is to take the laws and make the gold.”
I have so many of the discworld books I like. I gotta say my favorite characters are Rincewind and Death. Vetinari, despite being the antagonist, he has some great quotes 😂
"He didn't administer a reign of terror, just the occasional light shower."
"You see, the only thing the good people are good at is overthrowing the bad people. And you're good at that, I'll grant you. But the trouble is it's the only thing you're good at. One day it's the ringing of the bells and the casting down of the evil tyrant, and the next it's everyone sitting around complaining that ever since the tyrant was overthrown no one's been taking out the trash. Because the bad people know how to plan. It's part of the specification, you might say. Every evil tyrant has a plan to rule the world. The good people don't seem to have the knack."
Did you ever play the computer game Discworld?
Vetinari is great; I always imagined him played by Alan Rickman.
I also like Vimes and Granny Weatherwax a lot.
I didn’t know there was a Discworld game! 😳
Yes it is awesome!
Love Terry Pratchett. I miss him and his biting insight into humanity💜
The Discworld novels are wonderfully good.
My favourite character is definitely Death!
And there’s the Death of Rats too 🖤
Terry Pratchett is my favorite writer. His books are with me almost my life long and I read them all from time to time again and again. Thank you for sharing it here 🧡
You’re welcome! So great to see folks know his work here. 💜
Yes Discworld fans a plenty on NoSTr. I would guess! All my girlfriends until now where avid Discworld readers. So for me it's stands for good taste! Loved also the night watch TV series! And the movies ofcourse
I haven’t seen any of the movies or films yet, though I did watch the film short of Troll Bridge. It was a combination of live actors and generated characters. The actor they got to play Cohen the Barbarian was perfect.
